So, here I am, a South African guy living in England watching a guy in the States finding knives to fix up and I am thoroughly hooked! Awesome!
So Awesome!! Thank you so much for the support!!
I'm in Dublin right now and I wanted the boomsticks
He a great guy boet. Very knowledgeable.
I surely miss going to the flea markets, health problems, so i really enjoy getting to watch this, ty sir !!!
I love the flea market knife hunts! That’s something not many other knife channels do on CZcams. I love the repair too
They just keep getting better and better.
Thank you!
That barlow is sweet !!!
Great video!! The old boy you stopped at 1st said, "there aren't any other knives out here", you proved him wrong!! Great scores, thanks for taking us along for the ride!!
LOL! Thanks for watching!
Those Flea Market finds are always a joy to find. Most of the people like to stay up front in the newer sections. I like to go digging way in the back of the places. That's where you find the diamonds in the rough at! If can do a little cleaning and fixing. That's the ticket guys!😊
I agree 💯.. I find many gems that way..
Flea market treasures can be some of the best. Every now and then you can luck into a really good, gently used knife that just needs a good cleanup. Some of the knife sellers are very knowledgeable, however, most don’t really don’t care about the knife cause they’re just looking to make a few bucks. Not every used knife is a candidate for a rescue mission, but there are some that are worth saving. You are truly The Knife Doctor. We always appreciate it when you take us along junking. God bless y’all and enjoy every day. - Tennessee Smoky
Thank you!! Thanks for watching! God Bless and Happy Thanksgiving!

Love the flea market videos
A nice day at the flea market. You did real good. Thanks for taking us along. 👍🔪
Nice you got some great finds on that trip! Going to be busy! Have a great day!!
You just got another subscriber 👍
That first guy "I haven't see anyone else putting knives out today!" [Goes and sees like ten other guys selling knives] LOL
I love them old cases. U did good
The Swiss knives you can just send back for warranty. The table where you picked up the Gerber Easyout had a nice little Dozier folder right up against the side closest to you. You should have checked that out Kabar used to make those light weight folders pretty inexpensive. That model and Benchmade's Bugout share a lot in common.
Awesome video brother!!!!!
A lot of cool knives!!!
Thanks for sharing 👍
Nice buy on the mess kit w utensils
I've collected knives since I was little about 7 years old !!! Always buying and selling too !!! Thanks
Great deal on that Zippo and SAK! And it’s amazing what some of the other sellers wanted for their overpriced knives and junk. Congrats for passing 2k subs! Cheers, RW
I could watch this all day long! This is so interesting to me!
Thank you!!
Excellent job! I'm into this kind of knife hunting too!
What a haul ! You make me want to go to a flea market. Great video. Thanks. God Bless.
LOL. Thank you!

7:04 HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAHA i did not here “Buck USA” at first when I was listening while doing other stuff hahahaha
Such great finds looking for to the follow up videos
Thank you!
The local flea markets around my area are great but the prices are outrageous plus you see people on their phones with Ebay looking up prices showing how much their worth and then get all mad when you try to get them to come down a little. One guy had some stuff we were really interested in but he wouldn't budge off the price and then got mad caused we asked if he would take 5 dollars less. He said I ain't giving it away and I see why people wasn't even stopping by his tables. Anyways I'm a new to the channel just found it and subbed. Keep up the great videos!
Welcome Aboard!! Thanks for sharing this and Merry Christmas!!
Well if there was a Knife Shortage i know a guy that has all the knives LOL WOW that was a nice Haul lot of great finds the Old Hickory would make a nice video restoring that knife ... Keep up the great videos with a nice touch with the America Flag at the end ScoutCrafter does the same thing
Thank you!
the missing shield...Ive seen a cut down pistol shell case glued into the scales, man that looked slick
You bought exactly what I would have lol lol but I look for old garden sheers long one they are really good for making fixed blade knives
Just found your channel looking forward to your videos
Welcome aboard!
Some of these prices sound insane.
It was Awesome!! Happy New Year!
Have you ever been to Sadie's for market in Dothan Alabama it's a very big big market place good deals but only open on weekends
Purdy cool man.. wondering what number you were thinking for the 2 zippos and the yellow trapper 🤔 .. anyway rite on man 👍
I wish I still had my kutmaster Barlow... Was the best whittling knife I had..
Those are Great Knives!
Your last table there was an old Imoerial on it.
Awesome great video thanks for sharing. Do they still make Barlow knives? My dad used to have a Barlow and a hawk bill knife. He cut a piece off of a tire and made new handles for it. Then he kept using it for years.
Some companies still do make those style of knives. Thanks for sharing!
🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷 Very good
Thank you
So I just found your channel today, and watched a couple videos and definitely enjoyed them!! I'm sure glad you did bite on those 30$ zippo's!! Hahahah made me mad when he fed you that line!! I work for an army surplus store and the brand new zippo's start at 28$ and I've got a bunch of those us military silverware if you need more!!! Thank you for the video!
That’s awesome!! Where are you located?
@@theknifedoctor Gulfport,Mississippi
Where are you located? Love your videos.
West central GEORGIA. Thanks for watching!
Hey Doc, cool finds. You can send the zippo’s to warranty service for free.
I am loving your hat!!! Are they for sale???
It’s the only one! Thanks though!!
Man I wish the flea markets by me had this kinda stuff. All they have is old shoes hats clothes and misc junk. Must be the area
I always have trouble finding old swiss army ones. Im in the process of learning to repair knives. Recently I found dads old box of knives in my moms room. Iknow i saw a shrade, kamp king imperial and one made in hawaii no name
That’s awesome!! Thanks for sharing!
I did not know there was 2. Five ports and Alabama.
I love the guy “i didn’t see any other knives out” then we see 357 tables with knives out lol
If you want to check out the best flea market in the south, you should try jockey lot in Anderson South Carolina. It’s supposed to be the largest flea market in the south you’ll spend all day there and not see everything.
I see a road trip coming!! LOL Thanks for sharing this!
super mooie hobby dat vindt je in holland niet op de rommel markt
Thanks for watching and your support from across the pond!!
😊
Roanoke...ala😊.

Thank you!! My shipping address is:
The Knife Doctor
P.O. Box 572
Ellaville, GA 31806
Thank you!!
👍✌️👌❤️🇨🇦
The guy wanted 25 bucks for the old Buck eagle eye. I had one when I was a kid, I've been stalking one at the local knife case for like 6 months now; they want 30 bucks for it I tried to give him 20... they won't take. His was in good shape the one I'm looking at has a jacked up blade.
Thanks! I hope you’ll get it one day! Hanks for watching!!
Good stuff!! Do you live in Alabama? Where exactly is 5 points?
I’m from Ellaville, GA. 5 points is between Lafayette and Roanoke on Hwy 431. The flea market is about 4 miles north of 5 points.
@@theknifedoctor oh ok! I’m familiar with 431
Ruth's Flea Market , Ruth ,AL. Four miles north of Five Points , AL & two miles south of Ronake, AL. On high way 431 north mile marker #175. OPEN ONLY WEDNESDAYS hours 4:30 AM until round 10:30 ish AL time. Forty minutes west of Lagrange,GA & forty fives minutes north of Auburn,AL.
@@kaybaldwin7842 oh ok, I must be thinking of a diff road, yeah that’s a little farther south of me than I thought.
English viewer here, but watching from California. I recently found an old Buck 119 c/w sheath for $2, it has lost its tip but has been reworked, blade now 5 3/4" . Have i done OK?
Sounds like you did! Thanks for watching and happy New Year!
when you see the old ontario army machetes pick them up ontario is shutting down and the newer stuff they made was 1075 steel and junk but the old ones are thicker 1095
Thanks for sharing. I think Blue Ridge Knives bought them out at the end of August of this year. Thanks for watching!!
Few people save Broken pocket knives!
How do you find flea markets like this? Ive been looking around near me but I've struggled to get into it.
I think it has a lot to do with the area and the people who live near them.
@@theknifedoctor Thank you, youre probably right, lack of that spirit up where I'm at I think.
It always seems like the flea market vendors with the highest prices are the least likely to haggle with you. It's like they meant to open a retail store but made a wrong turn and ended up at the flea market by mistake.
So true!! Thanks for watching and Happy Thanksgiving!
You should of bought the last two zippos and case knife
what year is that zippo? it tells you on the bottom right.
holy shit I'm jealous you got a 1962 zippo for $2.
My grandfather has a shit load of all those knives
JIGBONE
LOL those lighters worth 30 a piece.... I know, I mean I hope he knows that ain't even close to correct.
It seems sodbusters go for $15
They can sell firearms at a flea market? Ok that is nuts
Yeah…it’s cool to me.
Wrong k ife for mess kit
Do you sell your hat?
This is the only one I have so far. If there was interest I would sell them. Do you want one? The cost would be close to $33 shipped. Thanks for the support and thanks for watching!!
these boys are stingy out here. some exhorbent prices for that junk.
no china made sht i like your syle
I draw the line on my knives. I just can’t feel American toting a China made knife in my pocket. Happy Thanksgiving and thanks for watching!
lol these people won’t haggle for crap! Sounding like Pawnstars.
2$ knife for 25$ “I know what I got!” 🤣😂
Flea markets ain’t what they used to be…..
LOL! I love the dance and I may pay a little more for what it’s worth sometimes just in order to be able to work on and save them. Thanks for watching!!
Even though prices are high, some of these guys are still asking too much!
$5 form on that rusted up:busted handle Old Hickory was a rip off! I would of offered $1
Stubborn old dudes just trying to rip people off for an extra nickel! 🙄
Also that guy selling the Zippos was definitely high on something with those prices, completely absurd! He was trying to rip you off!
Sir your the reason I can’t find good deals on knives at the local flea markets around 100 mile radius of Phenix City AL🥹🥹🥹🥹
LOL!!
